Tim Hortons parent RBI names Duncan Fulton as chief corporate officer

The Great White North Franchisee Association, which claims to represent about half of Canada’s Tim Hortons franchisees, also wrote to Ottawa earlier this year alleging that RBI failed to live up to promises made under the Investment Canada Act in 2014.

“His skills as a brand leader, digital innovator, communicator and his experience running a retail network and working closely with franchisees will be of great benefit to RBI and our growth agenda in the coming years,” Schwartz said in a statement.

“Duncan is also a well-known Canadian executive who will play an important role with our Tim Hortons executive team, in addition to his roles working with the teams at Burger King and Popeyes around the world.”
